Episode notes
Unrest Will Escalate Gradually
- Pete North warns that incidents like Southport signal a gradual escalation of civil unrest rather than a single tipping point.
- He expects police deployment to resemble prolonged urban militarisation as incidents grow in frequency and severity.
Prosperity Is The Social Lubricant
- North links social cohesion to economic prosperity, arguing the 2008 bubble masked underlying tensions.
- He says falling prosperity, high energy costs, and a coming housing/debt crisis will remove that social lubricant and increase conflict.
Surplus Young Males Fuel Disorder
- He predicts a surplus of young, low-skill males will drive crime, drugs, and organised criminality as employment evaporates.
- North argues this demographic reality will be a core driver of future disorder without strong policy intervention.
